Chapter 244: The Cruel Nature of the World
When a person loses the things he cherishes the most, he may walk into a labyrinth and cannot escape, as was the case with Qi Wei that year.
After a few months of confusion, Qi Wei not only borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, but also played the guzheng repeatedly all day long, or sawed wood back and forth to make a waterwheel, and did not even go to school.
This lasted until one day, when Qi Wei installed a one-to-one water wheel in front of his house. Qi Wei paid the wages of those who came to help with the hanging, and then sat by the river satisfied, watching the waterwheel creak and turn.
The villagers all rumored that this kid was possessed by his father, but no brave person came forward to ask.
Qi Wei sat by the river for a day, until at night, a woman found him.
"Why did you build a waterwheel?" the woman asked.
Qi Wei didn't know why that day, and he didn't think that the woman who suddenly appeared in the middle of the night was too weird, but said with a smile: "A river with a waterwheel is called a river." ”
The woman asked again, only to learn that Qi Wei's family used to live far away from the riverbank, and her mother could only rely on a flat pole to carry water every day. One day, Qi Wei's mother went out to fetch water and never returned.
Qi Wei's father resolutely spent all his savings, sold his old house, and moved to the river with Qi Wei.
And that waterwheel may be Qi Wei's dream since he was a child, if there is such a waterwheel, maybe Qi Wei can have a mother who loves him like other children. Perhaps, this is also the reason why Qi Wei's father is willing to accompany his son to be "crazy".
The woman made Qi Wei have a long dream. After waking up from the dream, the woman asked Qi Wei if he was willing to seek the essence of the law, and Qi Wei agreed without thinking about it. However, Qi Wei made a request, that is, he wanted to go to see the sea, to see the sea in a place where there was no one.
At this point in the story, Qi Wei entered the law void constructed by the woman, who is also the law of water. This is what Qi Wei said, the most critical place.
"This world is actually a world in which the laws of water have evolved from the history of the real world. Sunset said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Chen still didn't quite understand what Sunset said.
"To put it simply, you can think of everything here as a dream made by the law of water, and if you wake up, you think something will happen. Sunset said flatly.
Lin Chen's eyes widened, and then he hurriedly turned his head and swept over everyone not far away, even, including Wang Hai, who was shot into a hedgehog not far away.
"Are you saying that when the Law of Water completes its self-replacement, this world, including all the people in it, will be wiped out!" Lin Chen's voice trembled.
"That's right, except for those of us who don't belong to this world, those who belong to this world will be the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. Sunset said.
Lin Chen took two steps back, this reality was a little difficult to accept. Lin Chen blamed himself and said, "Why am I so stupid, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”
"Why, don't you feel like you've lost your fighting spirit when you hear this?" said Sunset, "That's why there will be a rebellion of the Sea Clan on the sea, they want to survive, and they don't want to perish with the revival of the Law of Water." ”
Lin Chen's brain was running rapidly, and suddenly he realized a bug that was difficult to eliminate, that is, the dreamer!
"If outsiders like us don't disappear with dreams, what about dreamers? they have your blood in their bodies, if you and I don't die, then won't dreamers die either?" Lin Chen asked.
"I don't know. In the beginning, I was just like you now, without fighting spirit. In my eyes, this is just a game-like place. But after I got in touch with the people here, slowly, I fell in love with this place and the people here. I can feel the laughter of the people here, and I can feel the pain of the people here. So I'm going to use what I've learned to change their lives. ”
"Until I met her, if the world rekindled my heart, then she rekindled my soul. We played the piano together and studied the waterwheel together. I never thought I'd meet someone who has the same hobbies and ambitions as us. Even if it's just a dream, I have to accompany her to finish this dream. ”
"I didn't expect that this world is so cruel that I won't even finish a dream. Therefore, I hate Emperor Ling, I hate those who helped Emperor Ling to exterminate the Lin family's army, and later, I even hated why this law of water was so ruthless!" said Sunset.
"That's why you're shouting against the sky at the Bone Beach, and that's why these resentments hate the law of water?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes, but how ridiculous it is to think about it now. A hundred years is just a dream, and looking back everything is empty. Sunset sighed.
"No, it's not empty! they just stand in front of me so alive, they laugh and they cry, they have my apprentices, they have my daughters, they have my benefactors, they may have my enemies, but as long as I am there, it proves that they were. Lin Chen said.
"It doesn't make sense to say that. The body of the Law of Water has been reshaped, and it won't be long before she wakes up, and by that time, everything will no longer be in the hands of the people themselves. Sunset said.
Lin Chen's eyes were a little gloomy, and he didn't dare to look back at those people again.
"Do you treat artificial intelligence as a human being? Maybe they can talk and laugh with you one second, but the next second, when the power is pulled out, they will be gone. Even if she reboots, will she still be her after the reboot?" said Sunset.
"When a person dies, he becomes empty, so can you say that he never existed?"
"They still have at least a body. Sunset said.
"What about burning, melting, and being eaten by wild beasts?" Lin Chen said.
The "......" sunset also fell silent.
"No matter what, as long as I treat them as human beings, they will always be in my heart, and I will do what I want. Lin Chen said.
Sunset nodded slowly in approval.
"Actually, what you have done has proven that you care about the people of this world, otherwise you wouldn't have to avoid them when you say this. Lin Chen said.
Sunset smiled and said, "Maybe." ”
"What are you talking about? Are you familiar with it, where there are so many endless words? Yume's whispering voice suddenly sounded behind the two.
The two looked back and smiled awkwardly.
Lin Chen felt that maybe this was the most ugly laugh he had, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What about Mo Twenty?"
"I'm not her mother, isn't it strange to always hold her? Besides, from the very beginning, she seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't hold her anymore, so I put her down. Dream whispered.
"It's going to be fine, I'll take a look. Lin Chen ran towards Mo Twenty as if he were fleeing.
Seeing this, the sunset also walked towards Meng Siqing's monument.
"Qi Wei......" Meng whispered suddenly.
The setting sun suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the dream and whispered, "You heard everything?"
"That's right, it's especially good to hit my sister and me. Dream whispered.
"Hmm. "The sunset responds.
"Will you follow the last wish of Ancestor Meng Siqing?" asked Meng in a whisper.
"Yes, it's not just her wish, it's mine. After Sunset finished speaking, he turned his head and returned to Meng Siqing's monument again.
Dream whispered softly, and looked at Dream Light Dance in the air with a complicated expression, feeling that the person was familiar but unfamiliar.
......
"Master, Mo Twenty seems to be growing up. Zhang Xiaoli saw Lin Chen coming, and hurriedly told Lin Chen about Mo Xi's situation.
"Well, she's in the second half of her transformation. Lin Chen said.
"Transfiguration?" Zhang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Master, do you mean that Mo Jie is not a human, but a demon beast?"
"That's right, she's a little squid. Lin Chen said.
Under the expectant attention of Lin Chen and Zhang Xiaoli, Mo Niu's body slowly became longer, his legs and arms gradually became slender, the big black wavy curls became thicker, and the baby fat on his face gradually disappeared, revealing a melon seed face. The whole person looks about twenty years old. The clothes on Mo Twenty's body also changed with the changes in his body, turning into a slim black robe.
"Ah......h
"Which bastard disturbs the old lady's sleep!" Mo Jie opened his mouth and said a word, and Lin Chen and Zhang Xiaoli were directly down.
